Raytheon UK are seeking an experienced Systems Engineer with a background in defence or aerospace who is ideally knowledgeable about training development to join our dynamic team. The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of requirements management, system design, interface management, integration, verification, validation (IV&V), and product qualification.
